Billionaire's Runaway Fiance (COMPLETED)

Chapter 7: Jealous

"So, you and Ethan is doing well? Nag date kayo kahapon?" I rolled my eyes out of irritation. Kahit kailan talaga ang lalaking ito. "Alam mo pa ulit ulit kana sa date date na yan, Greg. He black mailed me!" He gave me a teasing look which I ignore. "Eh did you check his IG story and post?"

I put down my spoon and fork and look at him. "Why? What's in his story and post ba? We're not mutuals—or at least he follows me? I don't really know." Saad ko at kinuha ang baso na may malamig na iced tea. On the other hand, Gregory took out his phone and tap tap on it bago ito inabot sa akin at kinuha ko naman. Bumungad sa akin ang IG account ni Ethan. He has two posts and all of it are my pictures taken by him.

I clicked the first one and swipe until the end of it. It was a pure candid photos of mine, ang ilan ay mga larawan ko habang kumakain, umiinom at naka simangot na naka upo lang. The nerve of that guy! I look ugly with those! I checked the comment section but it was off, saw Greg's comment and his replies and nothing more. I swiped up and then check out my photos. May picture pala kaming dalawa? We were in the sea shore, I was smiling widely and he is beside me with a small smile on his lips.

Nag tagal ang tingin ko don nang mapansin ang mapang usisang tingin ni Greg kaya nilipat ko ang picture. It was me standing right infront of the beach, nakatalikod mula sa kan'ya at nakahawak sa buhok na tinatangay ng malakas na hangin. His post's has no caption, basta na lang ata n'ya yon pinost.

Naka on ang comments sa post na yon, I check it out and saw some good and bad comments.

Hala, as in? I thought nagka balikan kayo ni Annie? Saw you two at las estrella cafe last time ah?

345 others replied on it hindi ko na binuksan. Some known friends commented and even mentioned me! Eros, Malcolm, Wilson and Greg! Pinagka isahan nila ako sa comment section! I darted my gaze on the guy infront.

"Wow Gregory. Kahit kailan hindi ka ma a-asahan." The brute chuckled as he continues to eat his pancakes. I clicked his profile to see his IG story. It was a video of me walking away from him, towards the beach half running. "My fiance's so pretty, hot and just gorgeous." I look at him and saw him look away. Tinigil ko na lang ang pang s-stalk kay Ethan at nilapag ang cellphone n'ya.

"A-ah. S-sorry." He faced me now confused. "Sorry? Saan naman?" Oh well, "uhm instead of entertaining and talking to you eto pa ag inatupag ko. Ahm..." Now it's awkward, naka tingin lang ito sa akin at nag a-antay sa iba pang sasabihin ko. I suddenly look down at his phone and saw what time is it. "Oh shoot! Sorry Greg, I have to leave already! Next time uli!"

"Oh, sure sure." I grabbed my phone and small purse on the table and gave him a beso. "Thanks for today, Greg, I enjoyed!" Saad ko pa bago ito iwan at nag madaling lumabas na. Hope he is not yet there. Malapit lang naman ang condo unit ko sa cafe kung saan kami nag breakfast ni Greg kaya nilakad ko na pa uwi. I went on a jog with him and I enjoyed his company I forgot about him. Shocks.

Pagdating sa building ay dumeretso na ako sa elevator. When it reached my floor I went out immediately. only to see him in my front door standing with paper bags on his hand, naka yukong pa tingin tingin sa paligid, he glance my way and fixed his stance. I walked and greet him. "Hey, sorry. Kanina ka pa? You should have called me first." I said feeling guilty.

"Your phone is on silent mode." He said looking straight to my eyes. "You should have told me, may friendly date pala kayo ni Gregory. He didn't mention, I even invite him for a jog." He said while nodding. His voice sounds accusing. "O-oh, sorry 'bout that. Ahm, did you have breakfast na ba?" Then I look down at his paper bags. "Yeah." He answered dryly, oh I know it's my fault. Naka ngiwing binuksan ko na lang ang pinto. "Ahm I'm really sorry Ethan. Anong oras ka nag punta dito?"

"Hmm, let's see." He look at his wrist watch then to me. "Well, more like two hours and thirty one minutes ago when I arrive."

"Oh I'm sorry, medyo maganda kase yung napag usapan namin ni Greg. Nawala sa utak ko ang oras. Sana umuwi kana lang kung gan'on..."

"So you two can extend your friendly date?" He sounds so sarcastic! "Ethan? Of course you've been waiting here! And... How did you even know I was with Greg huh?" He chuckled sarcastically then put down the bag and gave me a teasing look. "Well because I saw you two so close to each other almost kissing kanina sa park?" What?

"Oh! That's because natalisod ako! It was an accident! And the hell? What is this Ethan? Why are you acting like that! Gregory is your friend and my friend–" before I finish my words he cut me off. "Friend? Our friend huh? Ok. Since you mentioned that, are you sure he is only a friend to you?"

"You're being irrational, Ethan."

"Jade, hindi ka ba marunong maki ramdam?"

He held both my elbow and made me face him. "Do I deserve this treatment? Is this my karma?" He look straight to my eyes now, I can see different emotions in his eyes.

"Ethan, what are you talking about?"

"Damn it. Can't you feel? Can't you see? I'm fucking damn jealous when someone else held your hands! Look at your eyes the way I look at it! Looks at you the way I do! Damn. Si Greg, si Greg. He likes you! I know because I am his friend. I know because he looks at you the same as I do!" Ni hindi ko alam ang sasabihin sa mga sinabi n'ya. "And you, you look so inlove with him." Then there I look away.

Am I?

"See? That's why... He is not just a friend to you." Umiling ako at gusto nang palitan ang usapan. "Can we... Ethan, let's not... Can we drop this?" He sighed and nodded slowly. "Yeah, I'm sorry." Umiling ako. "Y-you shouldn't."

He nodded. "I'm sorry." Nag angat ito ng tingin sa akin gamit ang mga nag tatanong na mga mata. "I told you this will never work. I told you to just drop this marriage. I told you... So many times." I sighed heavily. I don't even know how we ended that awkward moment and proceed in to cleaning my whole unit.

I cooked us lunch and ate together before planning our Palawan vocation. I was still hesitating but then again what should I do? I have no plans, I don't work. I'm useless okay? I get that. Because I have no plans in life. Unlike my dear sister na planado ang pangarap. May plano sa buhay.

Ethan even help me packed my things. My two suitcase filled with my ka artehans. We're leaving first thing tomorrow. I don't know how did we just drop that topic and didn't talk about it anymore. I still kinda feel guilty but, trying hard not to think of it.

I don't have anything to give Ethan, he is too good for me. I hate it. I don't want this marriage. I don't want to hurt him if ever. I'm not good for him. He shouldn't be with me.
